Hey everyone!

Does anyone crave fried chicken?
I get it. It's pretty yummy. But this recipe, which I got on the same website where I stream my workouts, is oven fried so you can feel good about eating it for lunch :)
Only problem... now I'm wishing it were summer!! It feels a little bit like summer today in Ohio ;)
